Project description
uvx: pipx for uv
Inspired by:
Installation
# one of these ways:
pip install uvx
uv install uvx
pipx install uvx
Usage
uvx
Run uvx without any arguments to see all possible subcommands.
Note - pending replacement
Although version 1.0.0 was recently released, work has already begun on version 2.0.0, which is being developed
at robinvandernoord/uvx2. The decision to undertake this new version is
driven by performance concerns with the current Python implementation, which has a startup time of 200ms. To address
this, uvx 2.0 is being rewritten in Rust. This transition will enable uvx to utilize some of the APIs of uv
directly, without the need to spawn a separate process (in some cases), thus enhancing performance further.
Despite this rewrite, both the repository and the existing Python implementation will be maintained,
particularly for bug fixes, because it may have a larger (backwards) compatibility across system architectures.
